The Tanzanian filmmaking fraternity and industry at large is excited that Binti, a production by the Dar es Salaam-based Black Unicorn Studios is being screened by international streaming company Netflix.
It is a big deal to have any production on Netflix, and Binti has put Tanzania on the global filmmaking map for all the right reasons. The film started streaming on January 7. This came hot on the heels of Ugandan production Girl in a Yellow Jumper.
